My right headlight keeps deciding to blow up. I've changed it twice, but it keeps happening. What do i need to do to fix this? Thanks.

What year, model, engine? Could be a bad ground, connector, etc.

first off, dont touch the glass. second, is there any moisture in the headlight? how tightly do they sit in the housing? touching the glass can leave fingerprints which can make the glass heat up at diff temps and cause em to crack. moisture can crack hot glass in a split second. those bulbs arent very risilient in the presence of vibration.

Its a 95 Ram 1500 with the 5.9L. I didn't even think about the possibility of moisture in headlight itself. I'll definitely check that out. Also, where would it be grounded at? I really appreciate the responses.
